Psalms 48


font

1A psalm of the Korahites. A song.2Great is the LORD and highly praised in the city of our God: The holy mountain,3fairest of heights, the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, the heights of Zaphon, the city of the great king.4God is its citadel, renowned as a stronghold.5See! The kings assembled, together they invaded.6When they looked they were astounded; terrified, they were put to flight!7Trembling seized them there, anguish, like a woman's labor,8As when the east wind wrecks the ships of Tarshish!9What we had heard we now see in the city of the LORD of hosts, In the city of our God, founded to last forever. Selah10O God, within your temple we ponder your steadfast love.11Like your name, O God, your praise reaches the ends of the earth. Your right hand is fully victorious.12Mount Zion is glad! The cities of Judah rejoice because of your saving deeds!13Go about Zion, walk all around it, note the number of its towers.14Consider the ramparts, examine its citadels, that you may tell future generations:15"Yes, so mighty is God, our God who leads us always!"
